**Our Southeast Michigan Campground is A Northern Michigan Camping Experience Without the 6 Hour Drive**
Walnut Hills has an onsite canoe livery for [Shiawassee River]() floating, a swimming lake with a beach, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits, playgrounds throughout the park, and pavilion rentals available for group events.
From jct Hwy 71 & I-69: Go 5 miles W on I-69 (exit 113), then 3-1/4 mi S on Grand River Ave, then 2 mi E on Cole Rd, then 1 mi SW on Reed/Lehring Rd.
A rather large group of us gather at some campground every memorial weekend as well as other times of the year. But we have but at this campground several times. It has something sour everyone.
The place is immaculately clean of weeds, trash, bottles, cans.
The little store at the front near the beach is just precious. But I’d love to see a few more items that children could spend their penny’s on. Maybe some things that you could get at a dollar store. Thinks that could be used at a campsite. Every year that I come to this campground I bring a large box of toys to play with and arts and crafts. I’m not suggesting purchasing tons of merchandise but having a”real” Penny candy section as well as some place to buy a treasure would be so much fun for the children.
I feel this is one of the long lost family traditions that is rapidly disappearing. Camping. It really brings the family and friends together. Keep up the gods work!!

I have camped at Walnut Hills the last two summers. It is safe, filled with great people that come to vacation and some that stay there all summer. The atmosphere is laid back the pond/lake is clean and the inflatable obstacle course on the water is just the coolest! I also must mention the ease of setting up a canoe trip for your group ! This is a great family campground!
My family has been coming to walnut hills for about 12 yrs. When we first started going there, we always got a spot along the river. We absolutely loved it. Now they have so many seasonal people taking them all. I think that’s quite unfair. We’ve camped in lots of different sites. Some great, some not so much. The store is good and could be stocked a bit better and the cost has gone up significantly. I personally think if you’re camping then it shouldn’t cost campers to play on the witbit. I’m just hoping it doesn’t turn into a big expensive place that’s not a reasonable place for people to go camping anymore. We’ve always liked how small town it is. Some change is good. Some, not so much!
My family loves to camp here-the desk staff is very helpful, campers are all friendly and kind, events are super fun and the campground is beautiful- we love to be on the river sites so my granddaughter can kayak with her Poppa. She also loves to play on the Wibit with her friends-and the lake attendants keep things safe. Improvements are great to see happening and we are so happy the campground is a safe, clean and welcoming wonderful place to get away and play. The work they've done to update the areas is amazing! Can't say enough good things about everyone there! Terrific job and keep up the great work!
This is my go to camp site with the kids! It’s close by and has a ton of activities. We always do the rustic sites because I love a good night outdoors and the kids love to make a fire and cook over it. The shower rooms are always clean and there is plenty of hot water. And the outhouse by the rustic sites never is stinky and there is a small playground back there too. The kids love to be able to fish, but getting them out of the lake for swimming is hard! We love Walnut Hills
